Ethical wealth creation is possible.
Initially, I didn’t want to monetize my site because it was just my personal projects, but over time, I started putting in a lot of work into it. I wrote a few articles a week.

I've been reading a lot of the commencement speeches out there. While I am as idealistic as the next person, there are some practical advice that I think every college grad should know. Now it's been 11 years since I graduated college and the world has changed so much since then, but I wish I had been exposed to so much more so that I would have been a little bit more prepared. First of all congratulations for making it.
